There's a wiihacks guide in which you can submit your findings (both good or bad) HERE. It's encouraged that you do so, perhaps it'll save someone else a bad day down the road...

Dont know how im gonna submit my findings in the correct format in that thread when its more about bad/slow USBs increase load times and not specific USB/HDD themselves.

That list contains thumb drives and what not (in the 100gb and under category). Perhaps what you were using were USB1.1 devices? That certainly would be a cause and not worth submitting to the list (it's for USB 2.0 or 2.0/3.0 devices).

I have been trying to play my back up game cube games with configurable usb loader version 51 and dios mios 2.9. While wii games work, game cube games have not worked. When I try to start a game it gets stuck on the dios mios splash screen ( the screen with the gamecube logo and "dios Mios.") It just stays on that screen or eventually goes black. Occasionally it doesn't even go to that screen and just stays black. I have tried five or six games and have tried installing them with dm toolbox and burning them through configurable usb loader. I have a memory card and game disk in the system. The hard drive is a buffalo MiniStation Stealth and is formatted to active fat32. Sorry if this is confusing as I am writing this very late at night. Please help.

Sounds like that your formatted cluster size may not be 32k.

Hey. I've come up with a little issue using DIOS MIOS. Whenever I launch a game with a loader, during the DIOS MIOS splash screen a thick black border appears on the left side. Basically the screen moves horizontally to the right. It looks like this (http://i.imgur.com/4ADCd2G.png) in the game. You can see the screen as a whole but can clearly tell it's not in the center of the tv screen.

I've been using Wiiflow all the time but tried with USBLoader GX and the same happened so I think it's not about the loader. I encountered the same problem earlier but fixed it by reinstalling DM 2.8 with IOS236 using WAD Manager 1.7. All my previous installs were using MMM. But now I've tried to install various DM revisions with different IOSes and it doesn't get fixed.

How do you check and change cluster size? Will i need to reformat?

It sounds like it's guide writing time. :) I'll get something written up for a long term solution.

for a short-term solution, I posted this a few days ago in another thread. That should at least get you started to finding out what your cluster size is:

I'll run some tests of my own and get started on a guide, since this question seems to be coming up more and more, lately. Then can easilly be referenced in other guides.

EDIT: Seems the free version of what was linked above doesn't allow for cluster size changing. I'll dig around to see if I can find another way to do it.

So far, the only programs that I've found are trial-edition versions of paid software.

Thanks for the advice. Mine says 65,000 k so it must not be 32k clusters. I will also try to look for a free program to change clusters and will post it here if I am successful. Thanks again.

Edit: I have tried some things with Ease partition manager. When I go to change the cluster size in my partition it will not let me change it from 64k. When creating partitions I have found that unless the drive is NTFS you can not change the cluster size. I have found that it changes the cluster size depending on the size of the partition. a solution would be to find a program to allow any size to have 32k clusters. For the time being for others that may have this problem make a partition that is set to 32k. For me I have a 131gb partition which should be enough.

Read the guide please. The guide tells you how you can check your drive's cluster size without any downloaded software and also links to software that can be used to change your clustersize without deleting your data.

Did you look into your loader's settings? In your loader you can move the screen horizontally or vertically. Maybe it is off by some amount in the settings. Alternatively, you can change the settings to move the screen to the left to try to fix the problem. Also, could it be your TV that pans the screen?
